The brief Sensei follows
Restore the old photo [The old photo] with one edit: remove creases, cracks, scratches, dust, torn edges and the border, correct the faded colour and sharpen it, the face, hair and clothes kept exactly the same. Then make a still on Seedream 5 with the restored photo as the reference: the same person then, embracing themself today ([Who you are today]), cheek to cheek in the same place, warm light. Check both faces against the photos with a close look. Then make a 6-second Seedance 2.5 shot at 1080p with the restored photo as the first frame and the embrace as the last frame: the older self walks in from the side and they hug, one continuous tender shot, soft piano and natural ambience.
